What Our Country Needs.........

 So, the race for Gilmore will see people who think they will have a high chance of winning the seat from the Labor Party, Gilmore Member Fiona Phillips, who has held it for 6 years. People will decide if she has represented the Federal Government seat of Gilmore and looked after her constituents. On the last election results, she won by 378 votes, a very close hard-fought election win. Now will the tides change, We don't know

High-profile Liberal candidate for Gilmore, Andrew Constance, is throwing himself in as a second-attempt candidate who could win the seat for the Liberals if he works hard to get there. The buzz I am getting is talking to a lot of people within the Bay & Basin area, Andrew Constance has a strong chance to be the new member of Gilmore, while I am hearing much for Fiona Phillips with votes. Yes, I am talking to people who will vote for her, but not many. Who knows, which way people will vote.

Anyway, the only important poll will be the actual Election Poll on the day as many past Prime Ministers would say.

I believe a former Greens member is switching to Independent,  Kate Dezernauds, most probably under the Teal Banner. Well, the Greens were annihilated completely from Shoalhaven City Council in last year's LGA elections, sending a strong message to the Greens. So, I can understand why she has switched allegiance. Voters in our communities  feel that the Greens and The Teals should lose seats around  Australia

I know a friend of mine in Penrith Council attempted to run for Council - 6 to 7 times and finally got elected into Council a few years ago. Most people who want to re-attempt standing as the same Party Candidate.

 What would influence my vote? 

1) Well, the issue is that both Labor Party and the Liberal Party announced $40M to upgrade major roads between Bay & Basin to  Culburra Beach, at the last Federal Election The Labor Party jumped the first hurdle by arranging for these funds to be provided to Shoalhaven City Council, to my belief and understanding, after a lot of red tape and  Council Documents, the Federal Government has not officially funded these road infrastructure. First of all, these funds will hit the Shoalhaven City Council bank account Get these road upgrades up and running.

2) Due to natural disasters, the Federal Government will always have to provide funds for major road infrastructure as the community tries to rebuild.

3)  We do not need inflation to go up at all, because this affects the cost of living. I have seen in a Supermarket over the last 3 years avocados Special 70 cents each, then 90 cents each, creeping up to over $1.00 and lately on Special for $2.70 each.

4) Gilmore receives tourists from all over Australia and overseas, and they don't know how to spend their money. The basics of where to go for lunch or dinner. We need our Federal Government to point to Shoalhaven Tourism, which might help people decide where to go.

This can be presented: an online website and showcased by the Federal Member on social media, which she is good at doing.

5) Everybody wants lower taxes, but as part of our Federal Government processes, spend our taxes wisely and don't overspend and waste on everything the Government spends money on. In saying that, make sure our Country is Safe from countries that may be jealous of what we have. Maybe reduce more different taxes, and GST is the main tax, and Heavy legal action on Scammers. 

6) Don't focus on AI's replacing workers

This will make Australia a BETTER COUNTRY
